Yesterday was one of the highlights of my year. I was asked by Essex County Council to photograph HRH The Countess of Wessex visit to Braintree Council Chamber where she presented Essex’s 10, 000th Citizen at a British Citizenship Ceremony. After the Ceremony The Princess chatted to the New Citizens and staff from Braintree Council and the staff from Essex County Council’s Registration Services, all where thrilled to speak to her.
